Thoughts on pitching to Bregman?

[Cajun90]

I had no problem pitching to Bregman. I don't think it was even a question.

I think there are two key differences between really good teams and great teams (WCS teams). Key number one is that they have a group of pitchers that have extremely good command and control. They don't make mistakes. Key number two is to have hitters that take advantage of every mistake a great pitcher makes. That is where LSU exceled against us. Anytime we made a mistake with a pitch they made us pay.

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on Robe's decision to pitch to Bregman with 1st base open. I thought it was the right move considering bregman was one of their coldest hitters and scvicque on deck (who hit a hr earlier).

Maybe Robe leaves gunner leger in one batter too many, but I can't fault the decision to let leger battle it out.

Thoughts?

I had no problem with it. Also had no problem wih Leger being in. He was inducing infield grounders. They basically opened the game up by chopping a couple of grounders over Leger's head. No much can be done about that. Sivicque's was just a clutch hit at the right time. We needed one in the 8th and didn't get it.

I told my wife before the AB, that Robe needed to go get Leger.

Would D-Mo, done any better? Who knows, maybe the exact same thing would have happened.
